What is that Longing?

There are times when a feeling comes and we note a longing, as if something is pulling us. It can feel like a hole in our heart or mind trying to be filled. It can feel uncomfortable, too. What is it? What is trying to get our attention?

Pause and Notice

Don’t push it away but also don’t force it to reveal itself, either. Just notice and open your heart and ears for the next few days. Ask that Intelligence that is within you to show you in Its perfect timing what is trying to get your attention.

Allow Time

Take a little time each day to walk outside. What is seeking you will make Itself known. What is it that seems to be showing up in your day, on the road, at the store, on phone calls, or in songs? Do you notice a theme? Are you listening to different music lately? Do you find yourself driving to locations that are unlike your normal patterns with a longing of curiosity? These are all clues. Write them down and ponder them gently. They will lead you.

Intuition or Divine Guidance

Whatever you are used to calling It, this longing is a way to lead us to our next perfect step. Ask It for clarity. Ask It to show you what you need to know. This Intuition or Divine guidance is a gift that is always available to use.

Make it a Practice

When these times of longing come up in our lives, they do so for a reason. Make a little time each day to walk or sit alone and listen to what comes up in your thoughts. Take note of what seems right or what seems off to you. You’ll know the difference especially if you pause, allow a little time, and listen to that Guidance that is always there leading you to the longing of your heart.
